If I were in your situation (which granted I am not) and mood swings related to blood sugar was a concern, I would pick up a simple finger-prick blood testing kit. It is fast, safe…

Just my two cents, but as a type 1 diabetic: I either want very accurate blood sugar readings, or none at all. And from what I know about people who don't suffer from diabetes: the…

I saw this post too; I didn't mention it here because it is not an officially documented file format structure. An open and documented format is almost always a better alternative,…

Not a feature, but an advantage: From what I can tell (I have only used PureRef so far) is that BeeRef has a open file format. For someone with their own image tagging system, it i…

Thank you! The website is [1] A good example of a project page would be [2]. It shows the complete scratch build of a model tank, and is one of the more detailed step by steps. [1]…

My blog is about my hobbies: drawing, painting, sculpting and modeling. As I blog about my projects and their progress, my static site generator will aggregate posts tagged with th…

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure about syndication. Something server-like, but my blog is static (as are many others), so perhaps syndication is the only way?

Great suggestion, I'll check it the indieweb link

So I was thinking about the fediverse and blogging, and if we already have blogs then why not publish them using ActivityPub? As in, using your fediverse account to follow blogs in…

Do I understand correctly? This basically means that instead of "Need more power? Use OpenGL." we will be able to "Need more power? Write a shader." ?

I think this is an interesting research direction. From my perspective though, being a T1, what I want is an even faster acting insulin than we already have, with a shorter "on" ti…

We once went hiking in a newly opened area close to Mt. Kosciuszko, which had previously been decimated by fire. The new growth was so thick and high, it took us 6 hours to walk 5k…

Yup. And wasn't there a similar thing in Neuromancer, with a gang of members wearing such urban camouflage?

Why don't you let the hobbyist decide what he or she thinks is safe to hack on. As a T1D myself, having to spend about 50% of my waking life second-guessing what my endocrine syste…

Boeing as a whole might not be "evil", the same way VW as a whole is not "evil". So going after the whole of Boeing may not be the right thing. At the same time, some high-up peopl…

Are you looking for Hyperswitch[0]? I've been using it ever since I needed to start using a mac. [0] https://bahoom.com/hyperswitch

I've got a related question: I'm looking for a (BASIC) programming book I loved as a kid. I can't quite remember the title, but it was something like "Programming for kids from 8 t…

This article brings to my mind the joke about the physicist and spherical chickens in a vacuum.

Oh yes! Good times! I still have my copy somewhere.

I agree, even as a young kid with no idea how make the speaker even go beep (I was young, ok?) hearing the music/speech coming from Mean Streets was amazing. Everything else up to …

I am not a cryptologist, not a lawyer, and only a marginally capable software engineer. But I think we've had the option to send personally encrypted end-to-end messages for a whil…

This book changed my worldview too. For me more the idea that the world is how you perceive it, that events and objects have more than one aspect, property or interpretation.

I like the basic script template that the author provides. However, when I start development of new code I always use a script that starts off with traceback and pdb, something lik…

Interesting: are you saying that people with Type 2 that progressively get "worse", will eventually become Type 1 diabetics for the exact same reason? Forgive my asking again. I am…

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe one develops Type 1 in this case from general organ failure, not simply because the pancreas itself is being exhausted.
